“You testified that in this particular practice Q&A with the [Obama State] Department, it wasn’t just generally about Burisma and corruption, it was specifically about Hunter Biden and Burisma. Is that correct?” Stefanik said.
Yovanovitch confirmed Stefanik’s recap of her briefing by the Obama administration.
Stefanik continued by highlighting that Yovanovitch was prepared to answer questions specifically about Hunter Biden being appointed to the Burisma board.
She explained her frustration with the situation and noted that while Yovanovitch had been prepped to answer questions about Biden by the Obama administration, Republicans have been criticized for asking similar questions.
“For the millions of Americans watching, President Obama’s own State Department was so concerned about potential conflicts of interest from Hunter Biden’s role at Burisma that they raised it themselves while prepping the wonderful ambassador nominee before her confirmation,”
“And yet, our Democratic colleagues and the chairman at this committee cry foul when we dare ask that same question that the Obama State Department was so concerned about,” said Stefanik.
She added, “We will continue asking it.”
